I dislike Opal, because it sounds sort of ugly. I can forget for a moment that it's ugly, and think of opals - but if I had to say/hear it every day as a name, it'd be difficult to keep overlooking its ugly sound.

I hate Myrtle, because it's super ugly in an American accent. Rhymes curdle. Besides that, I think as a baby name today it seems like a conservatory specimen. Like the only reason anyone would ever use it was because they desperately wanted to make a fashion statement, about how they have such Edwardian tastes.
